Thank you so much Wayne Luke. This solves my problem. And of-course I will be abide by the licensing agreement. I guess now I am clear about how to move my forum from one domain to another domain (if I ever have to do that).

You will need to use the tools.php file to update the URL to your "alternate URL". The software isn't designed to run on multiple domains and will always expect the domain in the settings to be correct. When you copy a database and use in on another URL, those settings will no longer be correct and the software won't work.

Okay, let me explain you again what exactly I am looking for and please let me know how can I achieve that?

This issue is caused by removing permission for guest users to view the HOME PAGE node. This should never be done in the software as it will cause many problems, including preventing you from logging into the AdminCP. You won't be able to use the software on your "Alternate URL" until you update the location with tools.php.

It should also be noted, that your license only allows a single installation of the software on one domain. We do not allow for alternate URLs in the licensing agreement.

The System Error is still a database error of some sort. If your site is properly configured, then the email address listed as the technical contact in the /core/includes/config.php file will receive an email.

Try logging into the AdminCP directly by adding /admincp to your URL.

As mentioned above, I am unable to get username and password field. Its showing nothing but just a blank page. When I go to the auth login. It is giving me username and password field. After adding my credential when I click on the "Login" button, its redirecting me to my live site.

Please help. There must be some solution. If you need server access permission. I will provide you.

I am getting this username and password field via auth login form

But when I am clicking on the Log in button, its taking me to the live forum and giving below error.

My test site is on this url nijohn.com/TheNewBB2019. There is no SSL for this domain. When I am trying /auth/login-form, it is re-directing to my live site. For the domain nijohn.com I have never set any domain forward settings as well.

Debug mode, I see this

I tried to login to Admin panel (nijohn.com/TheNewBB2019/admincp), its showing "No permission on node id 1"

I am testing on a different domain. Restored database and run upgrade script for vb 5.5.4 PL-1. Everything went smooth. Couple of times it was getting stuck at 12% then 22%. I just had to refresh the page and again click on Upgrade button. Finally it completed.

And now I am unable to get the Username and Password section. Its coming was blank white section. Please see the below image.
